Thanks StarGazerGirl for the kind thoughts. It's hard to believe that a person would call their partner of 17 years at 3 am to tell her he is on a date?! This is no kid, my partner will turn 60 this June!
Just as crazy, when he told me how much fun it was, that I should try it, he even gave me the name of someone he works with. Someone I have known for years, since he played high school baseball. Someone I would consider like one of my nephews about 17-20 years younger than me. I was so shocked I didn't know what to say. I consider this young man and his adorable wife like my own kids! Then he says Joe (the kid) is divorcing his wife. I am shocked because they seemed like such a great couple. Instead of feeling sad for them and what they are going through my partner just laughs and suggests I go out with this kid?!
The man I loved would never have said such a thing and would have felt bad that this young couple was going through this.
This alien thought it was funny, was having a great time on his date and thought this was the answer for me. I felt like I had the wind knocked out of me. I felt betrayed, scared, lost beyond words who was this man I thought I knew who could hurt me so and laugh?
